See extraordinary masterpieces by some of the most famous artists of the Impressionist and Port-Impressionist movements. This major exhibition includes a matchless group of paintings and watercolours by Paul Cezanne, as well as paintings and sculptures by artists including Paul Gauguin, Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec, Edouard Manet, Edgar Degas and Amedo Modigliani. The exhibition is organized by the Princeton University Art Museum in cooperation with the Henry and Rose Pearlman Foundation.

Some say that every culture in the past has created stories to comprehend the world around them. Myth is the manifestation in symbolic meanings, metaphorical images and the explanation of life energy in all living things. Classically trained painter and sculptor Evie Katevatis attempts to breathe life into the more obscure characters and stories of Greco-Roman mythology through dream-like images.
The show runs at Il Museo: Italian Cultural Centre, 10:00 am-5:00 pm.

'PigaPicha!' highlights the history of portrait photography in Nairobi and gives a comprehensive overview of this form of urban culture, which is one of the most creative fields in modern East Africa.

Victoria-based artist Robert Youds' light installation, For Everyone a Sunset, draws upon the architectural vernacular of downtown Vancouver. Youds references the urban surroundings by using their associated materials-aluminium framework, salvaged glass, LED lighting-to construct a sculptural query that creates a space for audiences to contemplate the urban experience.

Vancouver Art Gallery Offsite is located on West Georgia Street between Thurlow and Bute Streets in downtown Vancouver.

Taking its title from images in both artists' work, this exhibition uses the wood chopper as a metaphorical figure who 'clears a path' for those to come and the monkey as an emblem of the sense of loss and whimsy that is rarely discussed in Carr's work.

Emily Carr and Landon Mackenzie: Wood Chopper and the Monkey will be accompanied by an illustrated catalogue that explores the complex relationship between the works of these two artists. The catalogue is published by the Vancouver Art Gallery and includes a text by the renowned Emily Carr scholar Gerta Moray, Art History professor at the University of Guelph.

Every year on March 17th, the Vernon Community Arts Centre holds its annual, Empty Bowl Fundraiser. This is a unique event where handmade bowls are sold with a healthy serving of homemade Irish stew for just $20. The idea is that patrons can pick out their favourite bowl, have lunch, and then take their new bowl home.

Be sure to have a peek at the bowls during the month of March - they will be on display in our lobby, but, they will not be on sale until we open our doors at 12 noon, the day of the event!

So come and feast your eyes upon that perfect bowl! First come, first served.
